Diffusion-Weighted MR Imaging Findings of Acute Necrotizing Encephalopathy AJNR 25:792-797, Albayram,S.,et al, 2004 See this aricle in Pubmed Article Abstract Multiple, symmetrical brain lesions affecting the bilateral thalami and cerebral white matter, which often show a concentric structure on CT and MR images, characterize acute necrotizing encephalopathy (ANE) of childhood. We describe the imaging findings of a 2-year-old child with ANE obtained with diffusion-weighted MR imaging. We discuss the significance of these findings, as well as the pathophysiology of ANE lesions, with reference to the appearance of the disease as revealed by diffusion weighted MR imaging.
